Premier Doug Ford is proposing legislation next month that would ban the use of municipal speed cameras, claiming that they are nothing but a “cash grab” — despite legalizing speed cameras in 2019. The Ford government is backtracking on road safety at a time when Ontario is experiencing a disturbing rise in fatal car accidents since 2022 with speeding being one of the recurring causes. Studies show that automated speed enforcement has led to significant speed reduction in locations in which they are implemented.
Call on Premier Doug Ford, Minister of Transportation Prabmeet Sarkaria, and your MPP to stop the ban on automated speed cameras!
